I head straight for the clearence shelf when I go shopping.
SixFootScream I definately think alot of people do that as well, me included.
SixFootScream cheap a s s
Gold digger,your like the expensive apple,tastes the same as the cheap one
me too im left handed i head to the left immediately where the clearance aisle is
SixFootScream - I head straight for the beer section.
One of the sneakiest tricks is when a store like Wal Mart or HEB will stock the aisle of the checkout line with small, inexpensive items and snacks just at eye level with children.
Chris Boom I used to work at Target and I have seen more tantrums thrown over those toys at the register to last me a life time. When kid actually laid on the ground kicking and screaming because his mom told him no.
Jennifer Claudio I'm not surprised at all. It's sneaky marketing...
Chris Boom so you just tell the child fuck no you aren't getting anything! And if they whine, you discipline them. If you cant do that you have no right having a child in first place.
A Kayfabe That has nothing to do with the topic I raised. Yes parents need to have some control and discipline in their children, but cursing at children isn’t the answer. Anyway, after studying business in college, this is something we discussed. It’s target marketing.
A Kayfabe the problem with dciplening you're child is everyone's so quick to say "child abuse" now a days
A fun thing to do with clearance bins, is simply to go through the whole lot, pulling the contents on to the floor. The good stuff is always near the bottom. As long as you replace the items back in the bin, after finding what you want, (and remember to deliberately put the good stuff near the top), the shop staff can't do anything about it.
Only reason the good "good" stuff is on the bottom is due to the fact most shoppers do not see it so it stays down there with new items getting tossed on top every day.
Stores want to get rid of there clearance, the longer it sits the lower the price and valuable space it takes up, they are not trying to hide it from shoppers to prevent people finding the good deals, Rather its low priority for the stores with limited labor priority so they stick it in low traffic areas where the eye sore does not scare away new shoppers walking in the door to buy milk.
stores do NOT hide the good shit on the bottom! I worked in a kroger for 15 years and believe me we just wanted the stuff gone. we have new seasons and new shit to get out and also had a team of employees go through the clearance at least every other day to organize it so that it is as shop able as possible.
TeaRex Gamer Most of the "good stuff" is purchased by employees before, or as soon as, the product hits the sales floor.
Might be for some places but where I worked they fired people for holding stuff for themselves in the backrooms or hiding them on the sales floor.
They went as far as to not allowing those involved in store markdowns to purchase the product without the stores asset protection approval.
Where I worked if you got caught "holding stuff" you got fired or written up. Nothing is allowed to be held in the back by employees and nothing new is purchasable until it is placed out on the sales floor.
Every company has a couple of assholes that ruin it for everyone but for the most part this stuff didn't happen.
For items that are in either bulk or single look at the unit price because sometimes it is cheaper to just get many single items rather than to get 1 huge pack.
Yup.
I love jelly beans, and this one brand (forgot the name. It's normally at Wal-mart) has 2 sizes they sell; a 20oz bag and a 40oz container. Thing is, after looking at the tags, it turns out the bad costs less per ounce than the larger container. So, getting 2 bags is cheaper than getting the container.
I know a burger joint in the Philippines (I haven't been there in a while) which has a set meal for only PhP 94 (burger + spaghetti + soda)...
But I have a special menu for myself (the same burger joint) which cost me only PhP 89
A) PhP 59: spaghetti + Garlic Bread + soda.... (Set Meal)
B) PhP 30: burger.... (Additional Order)
I got the same SET MEAL with additional item for a lower price.
Peter Gilbert exactly for instance a 4 pack of chicken noodle soup is 3.98 while a single can is . 98 so if u want 4 buy single cans cost is 3.92 6 cent savings plus tax.
@@fanoflakespeed9460 sounds like walmart

Just tell me how to get a diamond ring from my Oreos
Marian free prize from 109 oreos (jk)
I am laughing so hard at your comment because that's why I clicked on this video. Buy Oreos and win a diamond ring? Click haha
Robin Hood click bait!! I know it got me too!! lol SMH
Seems the guy making these videos has his own tricks up His sleeves eh. Stores aren’t the only ones trying to fool you .
That's not a diamond ring. That's a schwartz ring.
Walmart shopping carts are beyond disgusting!! I used to be a cart pusher for Walmart and We would never clean our carts. I'd also find trash, half eaten food, dirty diapers, bandages, snot rags and much more gross things inside the carts.
I went there three weeks ago and while getting out of the car, I saw a woman unloading her cart in the trunk of her car. She rooted inside a bag for a box of cookies, opened them and popped two into her mouth. Grossed me right out. UGH.
*edited for typo
(Odd-Moss) Same here. The wheel bearings are full of hair, the only time it gets washed is when it rains (here in vegas thats half a day out of a year), people cough on their hand and touch the handles
(Odd-Moss) Kroger has sanitation wipes at the front.
When I worked at Toys R Us, we would take the carts outside to get them power washed...
...
...twice a year. and even that was less for sanitary reasons and more to knock the visible dirt off the sides to make the carts *look* newer than they were (some were almost as old as I was at the time..)
(Odd-Moss)
Don't forget that stores change planograms (where the items are in the store) as often as twice a month to keep you confused and looking for a certain item that you were SURE was there last week. It makes you walk around the store so you're more likely to buy other items.
Some stores mark prices up to mark them back down so it looks like you are getting a better deal. Also, Walmart's rollbacks aren't really rollbacks. If you'll look at the original price, it's the same thing but they know if it says it's on rollback, you'll buy more of it.
I also always check the grocery clearance rack first at walmart.
Jennifer Baxter That's like a sign saying 2 for $10 vs just saying $5. People think they are getting a deal, so they run for it.
Jennifer Baxter Yep, stores do that all the time. Also, I've caught Walmart's rollback prices being higher than the original price too many times to count!
be careful at walmart clearance racks I have a picture on my phone where the clearance price was actually higher then the original price.
chemislife I don't doubt that one bit. Some people see "clearance" and automatically assume it's a great deal. If I'm in the market to buy a big ticket item I'll use Shop Savvy or another price comparison app.
+Gene Brockoff
don't believe me check my G+ account I just made the picture a public post seeing as I cant send the picture in PM for some reason.
Those 16 dislikes are probably from retail shop owners
There must be a metric ton's worth of retail owners watching these videos then.

Yes, I want to return this sweater please, I did not look like a creature from Silent Hill when I got home
We live in a toxic world.. love you all
Harper Reynolds does anyone care?
Shkiper roo Leave with your negative energy.
Harper Reynolds I wonder what's more cringy , that you actually replied to my reply or that you said
Shkiper roo 😂😂😂😂😂
Shkiper roo I'm taking the piss, do you understand suttle sarcasm ?
has anyone noticed the calm soft music they play in stores? because I have and that's one psychological trick they use for it makes us slow down and take our time shopping tho
Chevyman 30-30 Exactly! Yes I notice it. The up-tempo tunes work also; you just keep on perusing the aisles, loading up your cart as you enjoy the music!!
Frances Fisher I know right and that's why I have my own music playing inside of my head
Chevyman 30-30 COOL and great 💡!!
Frances Fisher plus I just subbed to you
Chevyman 30-30 Thanks😀
Look undr the sales sticker, you may find the original price is cheapr than the sale price.
jennie thompson that's happened to me at burlington I told them I wanted the original price and she gave it to me
Celeste I used to work in retail, that's when I found out what thieves they are. I hate that so much. Good for you girl, always look...
Celeste watch out for end caps as well. They'll get you there too.
jennie thompson I'll definitely keep an eye out for that as well.. thank you!!
In some grocery store that I shop, some price tags are LOWER than indicated in the bar code scanner.... I PHOTOGRAPH THE PRICES so I can show them to the cashier.... i ALWAYS PAY FOR THE LOWER INDICATED PRICE.
Most of these things don't happen in Australia because of consumer laws XD, like the price tag one. All items displayed in aussie HAVE to have a price tag.
Same here in England.
My favorite one is grocery stores making sure that the essentials like milk, bread, and eggs are in the back of the store.
Also, stores rearrange their products regularly so you have to go searching for them and may discover new items. Especially if your a "regular"
I hate that. Never did that growing up as a kid but I noticed it started happening when I was in college and as an adult. As a kid and teen I saw every Walmart was set up the same. Now they it up to get you to go other places…
It sucks to have to go searching when you have limited tome and 4 kids.
I'be been told at work to put the higher priced products in the front of the shelf, and the lower priced stuff in the back....recently we had some chips that were the exact same come with 2 different prices ...the $3 bag got put on the back of the shelf and the $4 bag got put in the very front
I always reach for the back for the newest items they've stocked anyway.
Thats not My name i never take the first couple items in any display because they have probably fallen off and gotten broken inside or people have all touched them. Or worse someone took it to register then decided against buying, the store restocked it and who knows how long before they get around to placing that perishable back on the shelf, Etc
I always get from the back as well
@@AKayfabe stores usually restock return items every day. and most of the time new food is in the back. However, i have gone to places like walmart and found the oldest food in the back because someone half assed their job
In Australia stores have a section for ugly fruit at a cheeper price
Guy Flynn Harris farms?
Guy Flynn we have this in the UK too. It’s not even segregated. Some of it is called perfectly imperfect and the like. As a nation we are gradually becoming less obsessed about shape. It’s an entirely good thing!
CUZ IM BATMAN Woolworths is one place I know
i know woolworths does but have you heard of Harris Farms they do as well
CUZ IM BATMAN never heard of them
My strong advice go to the store with a list get what's only on the list and get the hell out 😆
At the store I worked at, if there was a food item that was marked "Today's special!" it mean that the food was either close to date, or if it's meat, it's been sitting out on the shelves for 24 hours or more. We also have a "clearance shelf", which products that were already expired were put; mostly canned goods, snacks, and cat and dog food.
Target's red theme influences impulsive buying, Walmart's blue theme influences a more thought out buying strategy. These themes are designed to match their respective types of clients to at the end get them both to spend more.
Interesting........I never feel really feel comfortable at target.......don't like the colors......cold vibe
Red is actually considered a HOSTILE color and is NOT conducive to get one to buy, more likely to get one angry! Maybe that's why they have so many fights and arguments in Target. Hmmmmm.
I've seen some get angry in Wal-Mart, but not as bad as I have in Target.
If I were Target, I'd change my color scheme to a light green or something more calming than red. Not all targets that you shoot at {or as in their logo} are red, some are multi-colored, some are just two colors. And, yes, there are red ones, and those were the least type bought because of their color!
Yes....the more I think about it.....the lighting and colors make me feel like every thing is coming at me....not peaceful....red bullseye......
My moms left handed so I just follow her to the left🙂
wow
Middle of the store and I memorized everything is sale on stickers shelf and clearance items only staff I got help was ones I knew from next neighbour 👫
I don't even ask about a piece of jewelry unless I can see the price.
Same here. I go with the theory that if I have to ask, I probably can't afford it.
not even jokin i was in a grocery store and smelled good hot food towards my right while watchin the vid XD
aditya krishnan *I could smell
Cherry Shrimp
Excluding the spelling errors the sentence structure is grammatically correct. Your "correction" is not needed.
The Dhestroyer spelling and grammar nazis still exist man haha
The Dhestroyer meh, it should be "Not even jokin, I was in a grocery store and smelled good hot food towards my right while watch in the vid. XD"
ZK___420___ZK says the one with weed in their profile pic...
Impulse buys! Those little islands in convenience stores or end caps to get you to make impulsive purchases plus the checkout aisle goodies to get kids to hop on the impulse buy train, trying to get their parents to buy things for them
used to work for walmart in the meat department that was next to produce and yes they throw out hundreds of pounds of fruit/veggies/greens every day
kelly shea that's why I cackle when people act like there is not enough for for the population when tonnnnnsssssss of food is wasted every day. Not rotten or anything.
kelly shea Aw.. shame
the walmart i work at we send all the untouched produce for that week to donation drives and church events. or mark it down on thrusdays and mondays. 19 cent banannas per pound and 22 cents per avacodo. which usually those are super expensive. and for the carts the cart pusher is required to wipe down the cart aswell as maintenance. also just a heads up sometime in 2017 in june or 2018 theres no more price matching so let the struggle begin
And it is all the more shocking when you see the stuff on the shelves that passed inspection! One Walmart in Louisiana had an entire bin (3ft cubed) of unshelled peanuts. The entire thing was covered in MOLD! It must have been like that for days and nobody did anything about it. I told a produce worker... he looked over at it, then just turned back to what he was doing. Nasty!
Not caring is apparently a new trend in customer service. I met my daughter and her friend for a late dinner at TGI Fri after they got off work last night. We were in the middle of eating and her friend noticed a bug crawling on the seat behind him. The two of them bolted out of the seat, so now theyre standing in the aisle acting rather excitable, trying to figure out where it went, then finding it and identifying it as a small roach. We were the only people in the dining room, yet throughout this entire scene the bartender and two people standing in the kitchen door talking completely ignored us. When we finally got our waitresses attention she acted like it was no big deal. She tried to make some lame excuse about the patio door sometimes being held open too long. My daughters friend then showed her that his knife had something stuck to it about the size of my fingernail. He had failed to mention that earlier. Her response was to roll her eyes and say I hate people. She didnt apologize or offer to bring him another one. Finally, with them still standing in the aisle and making no move to sit back down, she asked if we would like to move. I felt like saying no, wed like to have dinner with the freakin bug; maybe you could find him a little chair and his own plate so we can share with him. Of course we want to move; how stupid are you. But I was restrained and just said I think that would be a good idea. We gathered up our food, my daughter inspecting hers from top to bottom. I really just wanted to leave, but my daughter was giving me that look she gets when shes afraid Im going to make a scene. I thought surely I wouldnt have to say anything, that the girl would know to get a manager. Nope. A few minutes later she reappeared and asked if we wanted anything else. I said I think weve had enough, and she placed the check down and said we could pay when we were ready. To make my daughter and her friend happy, I did not ask for the manager. I gave her a 10% tip because my daughter insisted (she said the girl had been nice about it, and it wasnt her fault) and wrote a detailed note at the bottom of the receipt outlining my complaint and what her response should have been. The girl wasnt rude but she was lackadaisical and didnt even apologize.
cashless paying systems (credit cards, cheques, smartphone payment apps and so on) yes it's more convenient but not only do you usually pay a transaction fee but you're also more psychologically removed from the fact that you're spending money and thus more likely spend more on impulse purchases - so carry cash and now how much you have on you and what you want to buy - yes you'll annoy the cashier and the people in line behind you but you'll stretch your budget just a little bit further
Uocjat I've worked in retail for 18 years and the people who pay with good old fashioned cash are the best! It doesn't annoy the cashier at all, it's the idiots who don't have funds in their debt or credit accounts that slows the lines down. But you are right, when you use cash you tend to spend exactly what you want.
Avoid large bills. Carry singles and count it out at the register!
A few more "tricks" I've noticed: "Tie-ins" are items placed (usually in a bin or basket) next to shelved items that go together. Examples: bananas in the cereal aisle, brand name A-1 sauce placed in the meat department, and I laughed when I saw (again, expensive brand name) condoms placed (tied in) with energy drinks hah!
Edited to add: Meat departments will make shish-kabobs, using bell peppers and other items, charging by total weight as meat only
Most grocery stores buy product with a certain amount of time to pay for the product. The goal is to sell the product Before the bill is due. The EXCEPTION is beer and wine, which have to be paid for upon receipt. Steep discounts are often offered to grocery stores for large(r) orders. This is why you'll see wines placed everywhere throughout the store.
Lots of other tips and tricks available...leave a comment if interested; I don't want to write just to write!
Number 4 is so true! I go into these boutiques or specialty shops, I try on something in the fitting room, see myself in the mirrors and I look chic, savvy and smart. Get home with my purchased items and try them on again in the privacy of my home and I look like a potato on stilts! I want those dang fitting room mirrors! lol
Some stores even raise prices gradually before big sales so they actually aren't losing out, then gradually drop it back down so it seem inconspicuous.
the reason why clearance looks like a mess is because 90% of the time its one of items that can't be organized in a uniform way OR because the store is so understaffed they can't dedicate a person to clean up after messy customers.
and customers are MESSY! I can go to any department in my store and find at least 10 items that people just dropped in random places. and items that are near where they should be but the customer didn't feel like putting it back
Haha this is great I was thinking about it and I always start on the left side of the store knowing everyone starts on the right yay I beat the system unintentionally! Great video thanks for the tips!
The number 1 of hiding price tags is so true. I used to work for a high end watch store and I remember the managers used to always hassle us to hide the price tag when we put the item back in the case. If anyone forgot or had an impatient client looking to try on the whole store and can't put each tag back, one would get a some sort of punishment for example a cut on commission. I liked the right handed gimmick in grocery stores and that the clearance items are always so chaotic, now I know. Thx for the video
theres literally nothing a store can do to make me spend more money, only thing that draws me to buying anything in the first place is low prices, doesnt matter what order anything is placed in either..
Same with me. And I always check out the higher and lowest shelves, since that's where the cheaper prices are usually found too!
Um, the E coli most likely comes from people touching meat products in the store then touching their cart. I always use a plastic bag and turn it inside out over my hand, pick up the meat with it, then wrap it with the bag to avoid this.
Recon3Y3z ...no matter what, E.Coli will be there,especially the space for the handbag. Usually, children used them as their seats, you can conclude what I meant here, I make it a point to carry a small bottle of sanitizer in my bag especially if I want to eat and a bigger one in my car. I would suggest to make it a habit to wash hands soon as you get home. So far, then and now, I never had a GI problem. May I add also to wash veggies/fruits with baking soda and vinegar and watch what happens next...👌👌👌🇺🇸🇵🇭
Wipe off the areas you most likely will place food. …….. sometimes mom can't get baby's diaper changed in time...….know what I mean?
The meat packages should be ok, unless they have gotten wet and sloppy. Once the meat has been trayed it goes to the wrapping machine and is sealed.
E coli is in all of us. Adapt.
I just don't eat animal products so I can worry less about all the disease, parasites, and unnoticed bones/cartilage/fur/veins/faeces/urine/birth fluids/genital excretions/vomit/mucus/pus
I work in the Produce Department at a grocery store and I completely agree with number 9. We do mark down fruit and veggies that are mishappen, or just a little bruised.
This makes sense. I'm left handed and I almost never go beyond my budget. However, on my left I often find "brick a brack" and sweets and I forget stuff I needed to get...
I work in retail and I actually just get paid to help people, not sell them more expensive stuff. I actually try to find cheaper better things for them.
Scottys the company gets the profits not you so I'm sure they love you
I'm left handed! I walk into a store knowing what I want to buy.
I'm ambidextrous, which means I can use either my right or left hand, and I go into a store in the direction I FEEL LIKE GOING, not because of smells or anything else.
I usually go in and head in the direction of the items I'm getting, so I may go left at times, other times I may go right, but that NEVER INFLUENCES on what I spend or what I buy.
I've actually smelled some pretty bad smells from the Deli, Bakery or other areas where food may be being prepared, if it reeks, I head for the opposite direction immediately.
Some foods I just can't stand the smell of when being cooked or heated, so I always go the opposite direction if that's going on. LOL
Left handers are in their right frame of mind
Bright lights, no clocks and playing my favorite songs
Ok wow, the mirror one I actually didn't know, and it totally explains the huge issues I've had with clothes looking right in the store, and then coming home and I look crazy! SO greatful for this info. Maybe I should bring my own mirror.... :/
selling in bulk making you think you'll save $$ but in some cases your better off buying multiple single items to save $$
Yeah. In the Meat department, I can attest to the effect on our customers. Particularly were the Petite Sirloins are involved. People will snatch them up in droves when the family packs are "buy one, get two". However, the price per pound is $10.... But when the Petite Sirloin family packs go down to $3 a pound, people avoid them like the plague.
Zeivu's Gaming
That shows how poor most people's math is..
If there is one thing I've learned from these videos is that companies suck
Who Invented Yeah but...like capitalism...and stuff
Techno-mage capitalism and greed are not the same thing. you can maximize profits without being a db
That depends, for what purpose do you "maximize" profits when you are already doing absolutely fabulous? When a person has profited enough for the next several generations of their family to live financially free, for what purpose do they continue to strive for more profit, as opposed to retiring and leaving some opportunity for others? It's greed when there's no limits.It's like going hunting and shooting every single deer in the woods, and saying no one else should bitch because you worked for those deer fair and square. Now everyone else has to give an arm and a leg to try to get a single deer, or suck the first guy's dick to get one of his...
Mike Ashe How are you going to be the hunger if all the deer or gone? gtfoh in the real world everybody else would kill the person killing all the deer because they lost their freaking mind
please learn English.
In a shitty societies people kill and use force to get what they want, in civilised societies people trade currency.
I work as a cashier at a grocery store, and I can vouch for a lot of these. Also, ever notice how most candy/kids' food is shelved roughly at THEIR eye level? Need I explain the reason for that? And the candy and snacks at the registers are called impulse buys for a good reason (they are also more expensive than the packs in the candy aisle, as they are often the king size bars).
I have a Kroger Shoppers card so I almost always check the oops we over baked rack when I go into the store.
this Overstock Rock has saved me tons of money on all kinds of birthday and other special occasions.
Bend down for 1/2 hr to the bottom shelf and even your back hurts, you save 30 to 50%
Sparkly Sparks use the carts and you can sit and ride lol
+Alexandria Clay they got that already battery operated. It's suppose to be for disabled people, but most fat-asses use it too being too lazy to walk. Good thing though, the fat ones have only a small basket attached and therefore can't fill up 2 shopping carts full in one trip.
retailers play "happy" music. studies have shown that when you listen to moon boosting music, you are more likely to spend more because you feel good. I learned that when I worked at Macy's
K.arenina Beauty but stores idea of whats " happy" music is the kind of music that sends me into a rage. For me happy music is stuff like Megadeth or Motorhead, not pop crap, or classical or happy lyric nonsense. And if a store is playing rap I have to just leave I hate it so much
Unless you’re deaf or type not letting outside ruining your shopping day even from music if you can block them out ( think 💭 of something else ( mr Spock 🖖 mind mill. )
I've worked at several grocery stores and one of the biggest things people dont know is just because an item is featured in our weekly ad, it doesn't mean that item is discounted at all. it may be full regular price. It pays to pay attention to prices as well. People are easily fooled into paying more for an item if you make them think they're getting a good deal. Example, I worked in the bakery of a grocery store where we sold pkg. of donut holes for $2.49 reg. price. We used to put them in our ad at 2 for $5 which increased our sales by 20-40% every time we ran them. Most people had no idea they were paying extra cause they thought they were getting a deal.
dont forget the music they play.. music plays on moods, emotions and the messages they play.. seep into the mind. they also keep moving things around so you dont know where things are to get your attention on other things to buy while youre looking for what you came in for
I work retail so I know all of these tricks
They also put the TVs closer together so that you can't tell the difference between a poor tv and a great one. If they'd sold them further apart, everyone would tell the difference
Worked in retail stores, grocery stores and toy stores before I took my career to electronics, but the funny thing about the shopping carts is this, the cart corral is usually either just outside the store or just inside next to the doors, but most often the wipes are further inside the store a good distance from the shopping carts, so you still have to grab that nasty shopping cart handle and make your way to the wipes to clean the handle. A little late for that now don't you think?
There are a few stores that actually have them right night to the cart corral, but most I've been to, they're usually inside the store, and a little walk to get one, then come back to get that shopping cart! And some stores still don't offer them at all.
You're better off to keep those sanitary wipes on you and use you own wipe to clean the cart handle!
As for the fun house mirrors, never seen one in the stores I've shopped in, not once. They have always had a standard mirror, if you doubt the mirror in the store, take a small one with you{pocket mirror}, and then compare your image in the one you have against the stores.
And if the store mirror really distorts things, call the home office and even possibly code enforcement in your area and register a complaint.
If those mirrors are found to do what this video claims, they'll get fined and have to replace them with regular conventional mirrors. As that is called a DECEPTIVE PRACTICE and it is ILLEGAL!
I knew about the jewelry store trick because I used to work in one. A lot of times, if you can see behind the item and they haven't taken the time to tuck it into a crevice in the display or turn it upside down, you can read the price anyway. However, for higher priced items that cost thousands, no amount of tag hiding is going to prevent sticker shock when people finally find out how much it costs.
Can confirm #2, LOTS of customers do their business without washing their hands.
stores should have a washing system and clean then on daily basis. as they wash toilets and they get dirty
Aether Veilborne
Ikr, at least 50% of men don't wash their hands after using the restroom..
I didn't know apples have names, i just call them by their colors
Mariana Ovalle that's racist
MrJreed1000 lmao
MrJreed1000 WOW. apple lives matter dude!
Mariana Ovalle lol.............
same........
Red green yellow colour are the sign for Apple from before rib to rotten stage
In the UK there are several furniture stores that are infamous for Sale Must End but never does.
The reductions, if you read the small print, that can be upto 75% off only applies because the item existed in one of its stores, hidden, with an over inflated price tag.
Bargain bins are also disorganized because shoppers get a good feeling when they locate something in them they might enjoy, this reinforces their desire to buy it. I worked a store that had used bargain movies on organised cardboard displays for years and while popular when we switched to the the bins our sales for bargain movies almost tripled.
Make a list first before you go. Stores, especially Walmart, HATE that. Even if you don't stick to the list that's ok b/c there will always be that certain item that will be sold out and you have to substitute it with something else or you just can't locate it if it's not an item you don't buy regularly. At least you will have a list that can kind of keep you on track so you know what your budget is and you won't over spend too much.
Look at the weight of the item. retail stores try to sell you on pretty "NEW" packaging and branding, I see it all the time. Pay attention to the weight because you will notice that over time the weight will drop by volume through new packages of stuff you are used to buying you just don't realize that they are changing the package because they don't want you to notice the weight change. It is not as noticeable as price increases.
Robert Nun'ya -- great comment! Also, look at the "unit price," which is now required by law in most states. The unit price is located on the shelf price tag in tiny writing. It's a great way to compare prices by informing the consumer how much the item costs per ounce, per pound, etc.
Good point, Thx
@MsUn PC I heard that Illinois just passed a "penny per ounce" tax on all soft drinks. It didn't sound like much until I calculated the increase on one can, then one six pack, and finally, one case. If the tax is supposed to "help fight obesity," I wonder why diet drinks are included. Looks like I have increased water intake in my future!
Robert Nun'ya everyone is completely aware that companies are ripping us off by putting less in the packages, thats not news. These idiot companies believe people would prefer to get shorted, than ay a few cents more for the proper size and those companies are WRONG!!!
In towns stuff are sold more than in a village. In TESCO, Coke is for £1.25 and in a village it is £1
Sounds like how Eurozone and Australian customers get ripped off by publishers on Steam. Stuff that's priced at USD60 in the US is often priced at USD80 for Australians and EUR60 for Europeans. As of 2017/06/29, one Euro is worth USD1.14, so that's a 14% markup for the Europeans and more than double that for the Australians.
I noticed that mostly with produce after moving to a big city. It is not only of poorer quality and sold in smaller bags, it cost more than 4x as much as in smaller cities. It doesn't even matter if it is local, the wast majority of it isn't, but it still much cheaper and better in smaller cities.
Nat Gamer in cities there is extra tax is why

Usually, the smaller Tesco Metro stores (& other supermarket mini-marts like Sainsbury's) are slightly more expensive on some items, due to logistics and being able to charge more in a busy city location, plus overheads are more expensive in these stores..
Thanks for the heads up about Target! I am an adult collector of American Girl dolls and Target's Our Generation items work perfectly!
Target sticks red tags with the "Advertised Price" over the original yellow tags on the shelf. Whenever the tag says "Advertised Price", it's exactly the same as the everyday price. It's just mentioned in the weekly ad.
To find the actual weekly deals, look for tags that specifically state that it's a "Sale" price.
I noticed that when there's a sale going on at a supermarket, they usually mark up the prices so you think you're getting a deal. Example; Pack of hotdogs were normally $2.99 ea. Next week you come back to the same store, and you see the same hotdogs, except now they're on sale for $5.99 for TWO!! Great deal right!? No.
It's a cent over kek
We round out our pennies in Canada so 5.99 is $6.00 and 2.99 is $3 so it's the same thing. We actually throw the pennies out when someone scrounges one or two out. It takes too long save enough up to make a roll and even if we did, no one is going to send a .50 roll to the bank.
Didn't Canada STOP minting the penny?
+kerry Sig i envy the canooks .....
Sure. Ya save 1¢ :-)
how about most Walmarts having their site to store in the way back of the store. causing customers to see everything around them, enticing them to buy something.
The 2 Wal-Mart stores I deal with when purchasing on-line have them in the front of the store.
And if you send it to one of their "Grocery Stores", they don't have a site to store area, so you pick it up at the Service Desk which is at the front of the store, no going though the store to be enticed to buy stuff!
I remember back when everybody (except me) wanted a Tickle Me Elmo. I was shopping with my family and came to the end of an aisle where there were so many of them stacked all the way up to the ceiling. A couple of employees were friends of mine, and we were goofing around making all of the Elmos laugh at once. About a week later, they showed it all over the news about how people were fighting each other over who got the only Elmo available at that store.
I love sales and clearance! Even if I won the lotto I think I'd still be drawn to sale rails, it gives you a feel good factor getting it cheaper than the company wanted!
Best Buy marks prices up instead of down. I picked up a CD I was interested in and saw a red sticker listing it as $14.99, but I could see another yellow sticker underneath that pricing it as $9.99. I put it back and walked away and needless to say, I don't go to Best Buy anymore.
And grocery stores always put the items closer to their expiration dates at the front of the shelf. I always grab my milk and such front the back of the shelf.
retailers think we're idiots .
Well, a lot of customers ARE idiots. Everything they do in retail is to play with our psyches.
metalmichael13 we all know their tricks and most will not fall for any. Retailers need to realize people are not stupid or gullible and just start doing things right. Also all prices should HAVE to be exact by law no more of this idiotic $9.99 BS. Put $10.00 on there or go to fucking jail
@@AKayfabe But don't you just love it when you hear something is "under $100.00" for example and then you go and find the actual price is $99.99?
Those are the ones that really torque me off! And they can get away with it because the price is lower than $100" by a lousy .01¢.
I think if the price is stated under a specific amount, the cost should be at least, at a minimum, 30% lower than the "under $100", actually just give us the price ans STOP USING THIS TACTIC! I really think this particular tactic should be made ILLEGAL!
Grocery stores should not be allowed to sell shelf space (with the below exception...), especially to the Nth variation of a brand name (like Oreos®, for example...) that already has two (or more) variations on it. (Quaker Life, for another example...) Instead, a product should be able to buy shelf space only during the first six months of its existence - and if it fails during that time, let it die!
Note that the dairy, meat, and produce sections are ALWAYS on the outside of the store, dairy usually in the back of the store (where you gotta walk past at least one aisle of other stuff to reach it!
Also, groceries (although other store types are also starting to do this...) move stuff around on a regular basis, so that you have to go looking for (for instance...) the canned meat (SPAM, anyone?) section.
I usually don't like click bait videos like this because they are boring or stupid.
But omg this was suuuper helpful. I am saving it for my next shopping trip! Thanks a lot :)
The prices on jewelry is marked up at least 1000%! Yeah, you read it right.
I purchased a sterling silver bracelet w/ some 20 1/8 carat diamond chips for $450. That was the sale price from $600. Deciding, too late, I didn't care for it as much as I thought, and since it couldn't be returned (their policy), I tried to sell it.
When I was told the silver was worth $15, and maybe $5 for the diamonds, I almost fainted. The person at the gold resale shop then gave me the ins and outs of jewelry shopping. Unless you have money to burn, don't ever buy jewelry from a store. Even the internet has a big markup!
I've now decided good fashion jewelry is the way to go! Unless their carrying a jewelers loop, no one will know fake from real! We bought a 3 stone diamonque platinum over sterling wedding ring on QVC for $65. In 5 years no one has thought it was fake! I constantly get compliments on it! So, buyer, beware!
Karen Dobrowolski my ex wife used to work in a jewelery shop I lost my shit when I found out the mark-up on that stuff
the price on a regular diamonds artificially set anyways they are not rare at all. you have very few companies to buy up the entire Supply and thrown into safes to keep the price High
It is mostly diamonds that are marked up out of whack. That piece of silver or gold jewelry cost more than the materials is because all design and craftsmanship costs.
my husband got my ring at a store somewhere. Don't have the paperwork on front of me. We got our actual wedding bands from Overstock.com. Saved a ton!
Same, I just go for quality fakes. Got my bridal set for $45 at the piercing pagoda kiosk at the mall. No one can tell it's fake, it's not plated so the color doesn't wear off, and it doesn't turn my finger green.
How about them Apple's?
A talking snake was the first retailer :P
One reason you are directed to the right is to insure you go up and down each aisle ending with you in the back of the store. One more way of getting you to buy more. Also 2 for 1.00 suggest you buy 2 and in Walgreens you best buy 2 or leave it alone ,if you buy 1 price is higher by as much as 40%
That's a common trick on everything today. I buy the 2/$1.00 bags of Flamin' Hot Cheeto's, but if they only have one bag left and you want it, you have to pay the single price on the bag, which is .59¢. I've argued with cashiers about this many times as well as management, you only have 1 bag left, there is no way to buy 2, so you should be FAIR and sell this single bag at .50¢. But they WILL NOT DO IT! You have to pay what the manufacturer has imprinted on the bag no matter what.
Give me the old days when something sold 2/$1.00, then you only paid .50¢ for each item and THAT IS the way it SHOULD BE!
Sadly it's NOT the stores doing this, but the manufacture of the products themselves that started this garbage. The stores DO NOT IMPRINT the prices on the product itself, it comes directly from the manufacturer like that today.
Is it fair or right, too me, no. But as they say, you can't fight city hall.
I know stores like to shuffle their stuff around in the stores. They do it so you have to go looking around for the item you wanted (instead of remembering where it is and being able to go right to it) and hopefully buy more stuff while you're searching. It's been proven that you're more likely to buy something if you're in "search" mode instead of tunnel vision.
I call BS on people being willing to buy deformed produce. I've seen plenty turn their nose up just because the packaging was lightly crinkled.
MrJoshuaAM too much growth hormones on food
I use to be a retail store manager and weekly we'd have to move items to another side of the store forcing people to walk all over to find it
Applesarerubbish stores that move items around, and actually think it is going to make people buy more, all need to know NOW all it does it PISS your customers OFF so they get fed up, stop coming in and go to new store. When you are looking for an item you want that, and seeing other crap changes nothing. And if the item is not exactly where it used to be I ask, and if it gets to be a hassle I walk out, and find a place that hasnt moved shit
I was looking for a new set of sauce pans and decided to go to Asda. As I was looking at the sets they had on display, I saw on the bottom shelf at the back a set. They were very nice but the price was unbelieveable! Instead of £50 or better, they were £8 pounds for 3!! There were only 2 sets so I bought one. It was just a matter of looking at ALL the shelves.
In grocery stores there’s usually a clearance rack near the hall in front of “employees only” door. I find discounts and slightly damaged items there.
I used to work at a grocery store, and they used to inject whole chickens with water to drive the weight up.
Does anyone else have to pay for the plastic bags at checkout?
Bags....
SUTTON
Plastic bags are banned in California. We pay 10 cents for each PAPER bag (I hate'm as they pile up so fast, so I try to bring my own reusable bags).
Most stores are doing that. Bags are expensive to provide, although companies will tell you it's to promote environment health by encouraging customers to bring their own bags. I can say it worked for me, I almost always remember to bring my own bags or to say I don;t need one when it;s something I can just carry out, like a book from a bookstore.
i prefer my resuable bags or my shopping card. i find the plastic bags handles the stores sell make my hands sore when i have something heavy in it
In Chicago yes, I was just there 2weeks ago, and the plastic bags are priced@ 7cents.😕
Everybody pays for bags. I guarantee you that the price of those bags is "built" in to the cost of the products that you buy. It's overhead.
I worked Target and other stores like Burlington, that schedule for mark downs does not actually apply for every store. Each store individualy, no matter the name has different days. Usually on Sunday everything gets marked down.
Stores often move products around to different aisles or locations within the aisle. Sometimes this is to account for old products being removed and new ones added in, but completely relocating a product forced you to try to find it, often looking at dozens of other products while you look, hoping you'll see something enticing and spend extra money.
Well this video made me proud of myself. I don't fall for any of this crap. I shop in a counter clockwise direction and I always know what I'm looking for and how much I can spend. Probably because I'm an above the poverty line white man that has to be frugal.
Like buying Campbell's soup when store brand is 70 cents cheaper!
Robert Glass, sadly Campbells only tastes good because of the added MSG (MSG makes you fat + it makes you crave more of it) I remember when Doritos & Campbells soups were *ok* to eat. Thank God for classic Lays potato chips & Progresso.
I've noticed that at Christmas time Wal-Mart will jack up the prices and claim that they are marked down when they are not. Certain items I buy all the time there always seem to me "marked down" and the price is indeed higher than usual.
head shops use the same price tag sticker trick is jewelry shops. You see a really nice pipe and they always have the price tag on the bottom of the bowl even though they have it sitting on that part
Wendy's reduced the size of their trays so it seems as if you are getting more food.
Didn't Micky D's do this also?
brad long
That's good to reduce obesity in the US though..
are you british Nathaniel Aiken ? ive watched a few british shows on youtube and have heard quite a few brit refer to maccas(that's what we call it here in Australia) as micky d's. im not aware of any other countries also calling it micky d's
@@iamjayeleethatsme1931 Been called Mickey D's since the 1970's in the USA. Don't even know how that name got started or coined, I call places by what their real name is, McDonald's, Wendy's Long John Silvers, etc. I hate and actually loathe some of the nicknames I've seen given to places at times. And the real funny part of this, there was a bar around my area for a while, but ended up changing it's name because of the Mickey D's name associated to McDonald's, yes, you guessed it, the bar was named "Mickey D's"! LOL
hAH I'M LEFT HANDED
me too
lily tan me too
Sometimes I have noticed that stores will put sales tags on items and the sale price will be higher than previous prices, but seeing the sale Tag makes you want to purchase it even more because you feel like you are getting a special deal.
Our local WM used to practically give away clearance items....a number of years ago they moved to a new building about 1 1/2 miles away & now you're lucky if they knock 50¢ off a $20 item!!!
When you early on a video that you aren't even subbed to

tesco here in uk starts with either the lunch (sandwishes crisps etc) or the fruit and vegetables closest to the entrance.
I work in retail and all of our signs for products that are not directly on the shelf are labeled "Special". it's the same for holiday items. always look under the "special" sign and check the tag on the shelf
I am not sure why, but I REALLY dislike being approached by the kiosk employees in the mall. It makes me crazy!!!
I don't give up and move toward the front to find more expensive stuff, I go home and buy it on Amazon.
copperblaze22 i stand there and sort through the messy sale stuff, even if it takes 3 hours, until I locate exactly what I wanted, then just leave the rest a bigger mess and go
Thank you for the clearance advice! Good to know!
Food for thought..next time your local grocery store has a huge sale..say green giant veggies are 2 for a 1.00 you may notice that there is a limited quanity to buy before that sale is effective..yes..you can mix and match some items but ultimately if you go with the store brand or another similar product you will save more than the sale items..most of us do not use 10 bottles of mustard in one month..so having more of one item creates storage issues at home..as well encourage "stock up" shopping in one trip..check week to week and you will notice that about half of the list of buy 5 or more to save is really much lower in the weeks following the sale! Hope this helps!!
Over pay on line did you say! HA! That's a lie, who are you working for😠
TRICKS GO WITH SHOPPING OF COURSE I WORKED IN RETAIL FOR YEARS. ITS ALL ABOUT LOOSENING YOUR WALLET AND FEELING CIMFORTABLE ENOUGH TO BUY UNINTENDED ITEMS!.SOOTHING MUSIC THE SMELL OF SOMETHING BAKED. AND THE POSSIBILITY OF FINDING A BARGIN......
they put thin layers of wax on vegetables to make them look more appealing. notice how pretty and shiny those apples are
Wow, I've worked in retail for over 35 years, and I've never even heard of, or put in use, most of these "secrets". The clearance rack is a mess because it's usually older product that hasn't sold and the packaging is worn. It's messy because it's an afterthought when it comes to the priority, which is keeping the current product neat and organized. If the owner of the store comes in and sees a messy clearance display, we're told to, "clean it up and organize it". Those first two things about apples are more related to the source, not the retailer. And cosmetically perfect produce is a _consumer_ demand. We also try to promote smaller, local companies. I've heard some wild, derogatory claims like these about pricing, marketing, signs, etc. from customers. After the customer walks away, the employees will look at each other and laugh, "Like we have the luxury of time to do all those things!"
